Pakistan name squad for Sunday's T20 match against BD @ Karachi

Pakistan name Twenty20 squad

Pakistan have included youngsters Shoaib Khan and Mansoor Amjad in the 15-member squad for the one-off Twenty20 international against Bangladesh in Karachi.

Shoaib is an opening batsman, while Amjad is a legspinner. However, it’s unlikely they will feature in the match, as the squad has all of Pakistan’s ODI regulars, except Mohammad Yousuf, who had been dropped for last year’s World Twenty20 as well. Nasir Jamshed comes in his place.

Younis Khan, who had opted out of the ODI series before making himself available for the fifth one in Karachi, has been included as well.

Mohammad Asif and Umar Gul, both of whom who made comebacks during the ODIs following injury layoffs, have been included in the squad, along with Sohail Tanvir, Wahab Riaz and Rao Iftikhar Anjum.

Pakistan Twenty20 squad: Shoaib Malik (capt), Salman Butt, Younis Khan, Nasir Jamshed, Misbah-ul-Haq, Shahid Afridi, Kamran Akmal (wk), Fawad Alam, Sohail Tanvir, Mohammad Asif, Umar Gul, Rao Iftikhar Anjum, Wahab Riaz, Shoaib Khan, Mansoor Amjad.

^I think its because he is in good form right now and they want to groom him as opener in all formats of the game.

Yousuf is dropped…is he gonna go sign up with ICL again? :rolleyes:

Well, glad to see new fountain of youth being injected prominently into the team on a consistent basis. Grab as many chances as we have right now. Come Champions Trophy, our bench strength will be nothing short of talent.
